Thanks for the comment. I actually didn’t have any glasses on me at the time of creating the tutorial, so I didn’t render anything out. I picked up a couple pairs of high quality red/cyan glasses off of Ebay from a seller in HK for very cheap last week. I am anxiously awaiting their arrival. After getting them I will probably start doing a lot more stereo tutorials, and I will edit this tutorial to include a render. There are some anaglyph renders you can check out in my After Effects stereo camera rig tutorial, as well as a stereoscopic Vue scene.

There are other options to output a stereo image, and I will be sure to cover those in future tutorials. Each type of stereoscopic image has its advantages and disadvantages. You can get a lot prettier image if you are using a circular polarized filter system, like disney3D or RealD use, however you need some very specific hardware in order to use it. Parallel/checkerboard also gives you the superb image quality, but again special hardware is needed in order to view it. Anaglyph images don’t look as great (optimized anaglyph looks a bit better), but it has a distinct advantage over any of the other methods because there is no special hardware needed. You can view it on any television or computer screen all you need are some cheap cardboard glasses.

Do you show the final anaglyph? My glasses were ready, but I missed it!

also anyway to do with an output OTHER than anaglyph? I mean thats not a good production choice is it?

thanks
